Well done to all.
FYI: At the present time you cannot place online orders for HOLX with E*Trade. I called and finally got “there might be a reorganization that hasn’t been fully disclosed” and as such, the orders have to go through a broker. Total bullshit if you ask me, and frankly it sounded like the CSR was grasping at straws trying to come up with a reason. Should I get any other info, I will pass it on.
